Can brain scans show depression?



Last week i went to a hospital for a brain scan. It was a nervous experience... Finally there was no any foundings about the inspected areas but the mri itself draw my attention as it might have given the signs of different illnesses and conditions.
While i was checking the brain mri of different people and personalities, there i have realized most of the people have different shapes, colours and images of brain scans which are really amazing to look through.You can also distinguish a psychopath other than a person when you investigate his brain mri. See on video:

If the medication is still used to be able to alter the moods of people, then the brain of a depressed person should not be same as a normal person's...If you have a real interest of investigating and when you go through the mri's you will see that some of the parts of the brain in a depressed person has a different anotomy. Scientists has proved that prefrontal cortex is effected by the depression which means that this is a biological process even though most of the people still do not believe that it is a real medical problem.
